Give Your Skin a Lasting Glow with SKINVIVE™
SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm® is an injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid that helps the skin retain its natural moisture and softness. Increasing dermal hydration helps aged skin appear more glowing, smooth, and supple.
Unlike other hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers intended to be injected underneath the dermal layer for adding volume and contour, SKINVIVE™ is crafted for intradermal microdroplet injections. This introduces minuscule quantities directly into the skin instead of beneath it, boosting skin hydration for a more radiant, supple, and vibrant look.

The SKINVIVE™ Process
What to Expect
Consultation
When you come to PureMD for SKINVIVE™ in Miamisburg, your trained injection specialist will first provide a free consultation to make sure you are an ideal candidate. They will discuss your goals to provide a recommendation for which injectable will best meet your needs. When this consultation is complete, you will know how much product we will be injecting and exactly what it will cost.
Treatment
Your PureMD specialist should explain the procedure and provide you with after-care directions. During the treatment multiple microdroplet injections are performed on each cheek. The injections cause minimal to no pain. Lidocaine, a common pain reliever, is an ingredient in SKINVIVE™ to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.
Next Steps
After your treatment you can return to work and social activities immediately. For the first 24 hours following treatment you should minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages. Some people may need an optional touch-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SKINVIVE™?
SKINVIVE™ is the first and only hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable indicated to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks and hydrate from within—without a series of treatments—for a glow that lasts through 6 months.* (Lasts 6 months with optimal treatment. Glow was reported by patients using a validated questionnaire that included satisfaction with how radiant their skin looked.)
How does SKINVIVE™ work?
SKINVIVE™ is made of modified hyaluronic acid, a molecule that naturally occurs in your skin. Microdroplet injections replenish your cheeks with hyaluronic acid to hydrate from within. SKINVIVE™ is designed to help the skin retain its natural moisture and softness leading to an improvement in the skin smoothness of the cheeks.
Is SKINVIVE™ a filler?
Since SKINVIVE™ is hyaluronic acid, it is technically a filler. However, the modified hyaluronic acid in SKINVIVE™ is designed to improve cheek smoothness and hydrate from within for smooth texture and a radiant glow—without changing your face shape or volume.
How much downtime does SKINVIVE™ have?
SKINVIVE™ has no downtime, and you can return to work and social activities immediately. Your injector may advise you to avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, Vitamin E, NSAID medications, and blood thinners for a few days.
How long does a SKINVIVE™ treatment take?
SKINVIVE™ takes, on average, about 15 minutes to inject. This does not include consultation and evaluation time.
How often will I need to get SKINVIVE™?
The results of SKINVIVE™ are clinically proven to last up to 6 months with optimal treatment. An optional touch up may be needed to achieve the desired aesthetic effect, so we recommend seeing your licensed specialist every 6 months to see if you should get treated.
Are results consistent through the 6 months, or do they wear off?
People in the SKINVIVE™ clinical study experienced cheek skin smoothness lasting consistently through 6 months and reported high satisfaction with how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy their skin looked through 6 months.
